Whats up with the different power rings?

[frostedone]

Ok, I know that the Green Lantern's use green power rings that represent willpower, but what about the Yellow Lantern people? What do the yellow rings use for their power?

Also the red and blue and whatever other colors there are?

I know that Green Lanterns are good, and yellow are evil, but what about the other colors? Also what are the rings weaknesses? I know that green is yellow and wood.

The Red Lanterns are powered by Hate and lead by a Regent of the Empire of Tears, they are going to be devoted to fighting the Yellow Lantern Corp.
It seems tha they will be both good and evil depending on the member but they will all be controled by there Hate acording to Ganthet.

The Orange Lanterns are going to be powered by Greed and are being made by the Controllers, the same force that built the Darkstars, besides Greed there goal is unkown, though they may try and fill in for the GLC like the Darkstars did.
They are likely to be bad but not evil on the level of the YLC, simply Greedy and possibly a poor second to the GLC's job.

The Yellow Lanterns are the forces gathered by Sinestro and given Yellow Power Rings powered by Fear, they have the goal of conquering the universe and ruling it through fear, which they think is the best fate for the universe they can create.
They are highly disciplend and conformist, they have nighmarish hazing going on.
They are all pretty much villians so far, but they have a fairly noble goal.

Green Lanterns are as you said Will power, they are becoming increasingly dark right now under the Guardians of the Universe, with being allowed to kill and such.

The Blue Lanterns are powered by Hope and lead the the ex-Guardians of the universe Ganthet and Sayd, there is little know. about them.
Given there founders they will probably be heroes.

Not much is known about the Indigo Lanterns, they are powered by Compassion and have a tribal feel to them.
Given there simple format and positive power source they will probably be good.

The Violet Lanterns are the MKII of the Star Saphires, powered by Love they an unstable Corp, though we know very little about them.
They will probably be antiheroes given the Star Saphires history.

Well right off the bat, green isn't "Good" its just Willpower, there is a differance.

In the past the Yellow ring was a creation of the Weaponers of Quard, in the anti-matter universe, and had nothing to do with Fear. But with the new way things are . . .

Basicly in the new status quo we have been introduced to the Emotional Spectrum, in which

Oan = Green = Willpower = (weakness to Fear)
Red = Rage
Controler = Orange = Greed
Sinestro = Yellow = Fear
Ganthet = Blue = Hope
Indigo = Compassion
Zamaron = Violet = Love

Wood is specific to the Alan Scott, Green Lantern, which has ties in the mythos, but is powered by "magic" rather than the same Power Ring of the other Lanterns.
